LIVEBLOG: DRAKE @ IOWA

Sometimes you just don't want to be alone. Like when you're watching Lifetime or having sex. Well, when the Drake Bulldogs visit Iowa tonight for an almost certain crippling defeat; that's another time. The founding fathers of BHGP will be here throughout the game, liveblogging the action, drinking appletinis, and talking about Christmas music. Come play with us!

Vodka

The best non-Kournikova Russian import will be flowing like water at the HS Mansion tonight.  I figure if I drink enough, I will be capable of taking a bullet to the head like that commie in the forests of south Jersey on the Sopranos.  

Drinks of choice, gentlemen?

Wow

I was just about to ask that very same question.

Sierra Nevada pale. Ought to loosen me up nicely before a birthday party tonight.

Not yet, but soon. I'm with Jim Beam Black.

Poetic Justice

Don't tell me I'm the only one with the game tonight.

I have BTN.

Jake Kelly

is quickly becoming my favorite player on this team.

JK

I prefer dudes with 2 last names, but a dude with a man's first name and an androgynous last first name will do.

BTN hires idiots

Correct me if I'm wrong, but did the BTN announcer just say Freeman doesn't shoot often, "averaging only 2 shot attempts per game."

Of course, that could be due to the fact he's missed 10 of the first 11 games.

by Hawkeye State on Dec 14, 2007 7:12 PM CST   0 recs

to be fair

He probably lives in Iowa, and thus, hasn't actually seen them play.

by jebushchrist on Dec 14, 2007 7:14 PM CST to parent up   0 recs

sweet niblets!

How much ginger ale did I say to mix with mah whiskey? I lost my recipe.

by jebushchrist on Dec 14, 2007 7:16 PM CST   0 recs

14 oz. ale, 1 oz. whiskey.

9-6 Drake, and nobody particularly cares for the inside of the arc today.

Determination

Thy name is liveblogging from your clock radio. You stay classy, Big Ten Network!

Another 3; 12-11 Iowa.

nice

We hit our first 2-pt FG 10 minutes into the game.

does angle have the angle?

Wonder how long he's been waiting to use that one?
What a toolbox. I like his fake tv voice too. He sounds like he's doing a regional professional wrestling broadcast.

I didn't

catch his name. I think I'll call him Turd Ferguson from here on out.

It's like Alford never left

turnover turnover turnover.  Drake up by 7.

by Hawkeye State on Dec 14, 2007 7:31 PM CST to parent up   0 recs

Holy god

I don't know what's worse; Drake drilling the 3 to go up 21-14, or Dolph using "lightning" as a verb.

by Oops Pow Surprise on Dec 14, 2007 7:31 PM CST   0 recs

why

Do I have to stuck at work.
Not that I have the BTN anyway.  But I'm missing quality drinking time.

by chitownhawkeye on Dec 14, 2007 7:32 PM CST   0 recs

well

If you're like most of our readers, you work in a bar, so that doesn't add up.

by jebushchrist on Dec 14, 2007 7:34 PM CST to parent up   0 recs

Sadly

Not the case.  
But I try to make up for it by abusing my liver other times.

The Watson twins are even creepier

Jenny Lewis approves, however

The crowd is getting surly

10 fouls on Iowa, 2 on Drake.

Refs, you're doing it wrong.

by Oops Pow Surprise on Dec 14, 2007 7:47 PM CST   0 recs

I think

OPS gave up. That's a shame too, I could really go for a dick joke about now.

by jebushchrist on Dec 14, 2007 7:47 PM CST   0 recs

This is ugly

Hideous.  Absolutely hideous.

This is a game with a face for radio.

I'm pounding my head on the desk

This comment would have gone up earlier, but it got wedged between the rim and the backboard.

When did the students become the "Hawkamaniacs"?

I wasn't necessarily dead set on Hawk's Nest, but at least it made sense.

Basketball Herky

Has anyone checked the Mitchell Report for basketball Herky?  He looks especially roided up tonight.

by Hawkeye State on Dec 14, 2007 7:56 PM CST   0 recs

I always liked Basketball Herky better

The football version is, to put it nicely, unfortunate. But at least Basketball Herky has that late-era Scottie Pippen afro and the mean mug.

it's Alcoholic Daddy!

Run, kids, run! He's boiling a pot of coffee!

by Oops Pow Surprise on Dec 14, 2007 8:05 PM CST to parent up   0 recs

really?

Only 9 turnovers? Seems like more.
And Drake is 7-10 from the line. Iowa has no FTs.
Wonder if it's because we haven't driven to the basket yet?

by jebushchrist on Dec 14, 2007 8:06 PM CST   0 recs

Ever since we killed UNI from the outside

We seem dedicated to ignoring our big guys.  I don't think that helps on a night where we're just 8-24 from the field.

by Hawkeye State on Dec 14, 2007 8:10 PM CST to parent up   0 recs

well

When Johnson and Peterson can go 5-25 from the floor (as they did against ISU) why would we pass the ball inside?

by jebushchrist on Dec 14, 2007 8:12 PM CST to parent up   0 recs

COLE!

There we go. Kick it in and lets get some easy baskets.

by jebushchrist on Dec 14, 2007 8:10 PM CST   0 recs

by the way

I know he's my son, and I love him, but did Gorney start ahead of Looby? I... am not sure that's a good plan.

by jebushchrist on Dec 14, 2007 8:11 PM CST   0 recs

Iowa's within 3?

This can't last. There's... there's just no way.

3rd foul on Kelly; Cole in trouble as well.

The last five minutes could be bad.

by Oops Pow Surprise on Dec 14, 2007 8:15 PM CST   0 recs

This is a good sign

Whenever the crowd's angry enough to start booing, there's enough in the air that when a couple breaks going Iowa's way, the place explodes.

And a total makeup call and a dunk, and now the crowd's right back into it.

(3rd foul on Peterson? Fuck me running on a treadmill.)

Jenny Lewis

Patron Saint of quick comebacks and bi-curious girls.

Freeman

I haven't seen an Iowa player give the ball away like that since Ronnie Harmon, New Years' Day 1986

by Hawkeye State on Dec 14, 2007 8:22 PM CST   0 recs

34-up

Iowa's defense is looking a lot better today. If they can keep knocking shots down they've got a chance.

Looby's 10 times better than Big Boy, I'm afraid.

by Oops Pow Surprise on Dec 14, 2007 8:23 PM CST   0 recs

hmmmph

You don't have to get nasty.

by jebushchrist on Dec 14, 2007 8:26 PM CST to parent up   0 recs

Inside game

Who knew Lickliter would check the liveblog at the half?  Get it inside, make it a completely different game.

by Hawkeye State on Dec 14, 2007 8:24 PM CST   0 recs

It's like

he's seen Drake before and realizes they have no one who wants to be in the paint.

by jebushchrist on Dec 14, 2007 8:27 PM CST to parent up   0 recs

I love it

When Freeman throws up those knuckleball 3s and guides them in with body english.

by jebushchrist on Dec 14, 2007 8:25 PM CST   0 recs

Freebird!

39-34, and the Hawkeyes have a young man's swagger again. Iowa's been on a 21-5 run since 10 seconds before the end of the half.

THIS-IS-AWE-SOME! (clap, clap, clap clap clap)

by Oops Pow Surprise on Dec 14, 2007 8:26 PM CST   0 recs

did

you just do a fucking cheer?
Jesus

by jebushchrist on Dec 14, 2007 8:28 PM CST to parent up   0 recs

I'll not have you judge me.

You're just sour because of the Looby comment.

Y'all gonna be

live blogging the 3 AM screening of Iowa @ MSU 1993?
Acie Earl, Val Barnes, and others I can't think of at the moment, stage an impossible comeback in the first game after Chris Street's death.

I've got it on VHS (somewhere), so I'll probably won't be joining you.  But I'll check out the thread in the morning.

by icculus on Dec 14, 2007 8:32 PM CST   0 recs

No

but I could probably do that game without seeing the tape. My favorite Iowa game of all time, I believe.

by jebushchrist on Dec 14, 2007 8:34 PM CST to parent up   0 recs

I might get in on that

Then again, I might get drunk instead.  It's 50/50, but at least it's being recorded for screening tomorrow morning.

by Hawkeye State on Dec 14, 2007 8:36 PM CST to parent up   0 recs

still

no free throws for Iowa. 8 minutes left.

by jebushchrist on Dec 14, 2007 8:33 PM CST   0 recs

Still my favorite Alford story

Apparently, Alford played with Freeman's dad at Indiana (Freeman's dad was a benchwarming underclassman during Alford's senior year).  When Alford went to Freeman's house during recruiting, Freeman's dad asked how Steve had been, to which Alford responded, "Do I know you?"

And, while I'm typing stories, we're turning it over again.  I'll just shut up now.

by Hawkeye State on Dec 14, 2007 8:35 PM CST   0 recs

to be fair

Freeman's dad didn't have the same haircut and smug cocksucker attitude 20 years after the fact, like Stevie did.

by jebushchrist on Dec 14, 2007 8:36 PM CST to parent up   0 recs

wow

that was an ugly break by Drake. Looked like first day of basketball in 7th grade running the 3-man weave.

by jebushchrist on Dec 14, 2007 8:40 PM CST   0 recs

"They're just going to ugly it up."

Okay, "lightning" isn't the most egregiously verbed word of the night anymore.

If we win

Will Dolph say we should lake the posts?

by Hawkeye State on Dec 14, 2007 8:42 PM CST to parent up   0 recs

damn

We just got Korvered.

by jebushchrist on Dec 14, 2007 8:42 PM CST to parent up   0 recs

I hate to second-guess...

But I don't think the Hawkeyes should be basing their offense off of committing turnovers here in the second half.

5-point lead for Drake, and it feels like 20.

by Oops Pow Surprise on Dec 14, 2007 8:44 PM CST   0 recs

gd

Looby. It was an uncontested 3 footer, can we please make that?

by jebushchrist on Dec 14, 2007 8:45 PM CST   0 recs

When was the last time a D1 team didn't

shoot a free throw in a game?

Big 3 by Johnson.  It still feels like this is slipping away.

by Hawkeye State on Dec 14, 2007 8:46 PM CST   0 recs

yeah

I think we're screwed.

by jebushchrist on Dec 14, 2007 8:47 PM CST to parent up   0 recs

48-44

Iowa needed, NEEDED that bucket from Johnson.

Sadly, they're not the "force a turnover when they need it" type of team.

by Oops Pow Surprise on Dec 14, 2007 8:46 PM CST   0 recs

I just noticed

that Jenny Lewis is pretty.

by jebushchrist on Dec 14, 2007 8:48 PM CST   0 recs

Actually

I prefer her in Foxfire.

by jebushchrist on Dec 14, 2007 8:54 PM CST to parent up   0 recs

Now that you mention it

I prefer her in The Wizard.  I'd use my power glove on her any time.

That 3's a backbreaker.
